Use of Irish Airspace and Landing Facilities: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
4:45 pm
Mr. Niall Burgess:
Successive Governments have made overflight and landing facilities available at Shannon Airport to the United States. That is a practice that goes back over 50 years and those arrangements do not amount to a military alliance. They are governed by very strict conditions in the bilateral relations between our two states. As I have said, those conditions include specific stipulations.
